Precautions
Basic Information General
Before actually committing any component to a mass-production To maintain the initial characteristics of a relay, exercise care that
situation, OMRON strongly recommends situational testing, in as it is not dropped or mishandled. For the same reason, do not
close to actual production situations as possible. One reason is to remove the case of the relay; otherwise, the characteristics may
confirm that the product will still perform as expected after degrade. Avoid using the relay in an atmosphere containing
surviving the many handling and mounting processes involved sulfuric acid (SO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), or other corrosive
in mass production. Also, even though OMRON relays are gases. Do not continuously apply a voltage higher than the rated
individually tested a number of times, and each meets strict maximum voltage to the relay. Never try to operate the relay at a
requirements, a certain testing tolerance is permissible. When a voltage and a current other than those rated.
high-precision product uses many components, each depends Do not use the relay at temperatures higher than that specified in
upon the rated performance thresholds of the other components. the catalog or data sheet.
Thus, the overall performance tolerance may accumulate into
undesirable levels. To avoid problems, always conduct tests under
the actual application conditions.
